Great when you want to clarify (and sound calm).
Pattern:
What I mean is + (clarification).
Examples:
- What I mean is, we should start small.
- What I mean is, not today—maybe next week.
- What I mean is, the goal is quality, not speed.
Mini practice (20 seconds):
Finish this twice (two different endings):
What I mean is, ______.
It’s much easier to make this natural when you practice it in real conversation. If you’d like, we can work on it together in a 25-minute lesson (supportive corrections, no pressure).
